New Delhi: MicroSD cards, for a long time, stalled at 64GB until SanDisk introduced the first-ever 12GB miroSD card at MWC 2014. MicroSD cards are smaller than the size of a fingernail and are most commonly used in mobile devices.
The 128GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card is claimed to deliver twice the speed of ordinary microSD memory cards. Designed for Android smartphones and tablets, the card seems ideal for shooting full HD videos. The 128GB card is exclusively available in the US at BestBuy.com and Amazon.com for $199.99.
Compared to when the microSD card format was first launched in 2004 with 128MB of capacity, SanDisk has increased storage capacity of microSD cards 1,000 times over in less than a decade with the 128GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card.
"Until now, consumers had to spread out their content between multiple products because the memory on those devices was not able to hold enough data in one place. This 128GB microSD card is going to be popular as the preferred removable storage option, giving users fast, secure and reliable access to their personal data archives," said Stuart Robinson, director, Handset Component Technologies, Strategy Analytics.
The family of SanDisk Ultra microSD memory cards is available worldwide in capacities ranging from 8GB to 128GB between $29.99 and $199.99.
